Hotel Campanile Malaga Málaga

... selling sea food and having bbqs on the beach. The weather is amazing cant believe that its still around the 25 degrees mark at this time of year.<br><br>We walked for a while and then worked our way back to the hotel where Ian went and lay by the pool for a little while reading his book while I had a little sleep. Its only a few days now until we come home and I am excited although I want to keep on travelling around. We got ready ...

... and laughing at the funnyness of where we are. <br><br>As we walked past the bars imagine how funny it was to see loads of english couples a little older all sat in a bar watching only fools and horses. I always thought people where kidding when they said they came on holiday like this but is so true. Each to there own is all I can say. Ian is struggling to adjust and keeps saying he wants some spanish food. Lol.

... the store brand which was surprisingly good.<br><br>i guess i should mention why i am writing this blog. it's something i have always wanted to do, i have slowly taken an interest in writing, especially about travel, mostly my travels. i'm not sure where this writing experiment will lead but isn't that part of the fun? i decided to start with this trip because it involves my upcoming 12 night cruise from malaga to miami via the canary and madeira islands and the bahamas ...

We were so enjoying our time in Costa del Sol, nothing but beaches, pool time, and british families. Costa del Sol is pretty much the Florida of Europe, only the water´s not as warm. And the definition of a 4 star resort is a bit different in Spain than in the US... When we first arrived, they tried to put us in an apartment with 2 twin beds! Finally playing the ¨honeymoon¨ card played off, and we ended up with a spectacular room (see pics for the view). But after 4 days of lying ...

Along the way, we ate wonderfully, but her six days were over very quickly, and on the last we dashed round the coast past Gibraltar before joining the motorway up to Malaga past miles and miles of the most appalling coastal over-development imaginable. I know it's hot and sunny there, but I just cannot understand why people would choose to spend time in that great sprawling mass! We drove a bit inland for a ...

... for lunch is an area called Chininitos where there are lots of chairs and tables set outside for a great seafood. <br>Teatro Romano is another nice place to visit, heading up to the Mount Gilfrano from there allows to see the whole city underneath. Amazing view of the Torre where the bullfighting occurs. <br>Once seeing the precaussions was over at night, we head out to Cordoba for our last day of visit in the Southern Spain.

... and Sean had just come from London they had some and i paid them back in euros. You can pay for things in euros but they tend to hike the price up alot and you dont get a good deal. Apparently Gibraltar is supposedly meant to be like 1960´s Britian, not that i know what that was like but i guess i will believe them. The police are proper poms and all wear the the cool egg shaped hard hats, and it was so trippy hearing them speaking proper english as i havent been ...

... from Madrid for a few days. We are back to Madrid on Thursday night, then we leave at 1 pm for the States! It's been a great two months, and something that I will remember my entire life. Thank you everyone that has been following my little postings and adventure. I will try to post pictures when I get home so that you can all see what the places look like that I have been to. Hopefully I will see everyone soon!

Well here we are, on another rainy Sunday afternoon... Ha! Just pulling your leg, it´s a dazzling 30 degrees outside (cue malicious laughter...) and it hasn´t rained since I got here. I was telling the truth about the Sunday afternoon thing though. In two weeks time it really will be a rainy Sunday afternoon for me. In England! Well, as I´m sure you can all imagine, I have worked very hard this week, (Honest!) I even managed to coin a new phrase, (I think this one easily rivals ´That´s ...

... spiked Bonnie and liz´s drinks (waters), but he was REALLY nice and he said I had a nice accent...so he´s okay in my book, no matter how many drinks he spiked that night. when all was said and done, we went back to the hostal and I felt like utter mierda. I went right to bed with my nose dripping, my throat hurting and my neck aching from front to back. They left to do homework while I slept. Upon waking up at 7:15am, I told them there was NO way I could visit the Castillo de ...
